摘要： An airbag cushion assembly including a horn switch unit secured to an airbag cushion with a cushion strap, with the cushion strap and horn switch unit cooperating to retain the airbag cushion in a deflated, folded position prior to mounting the airbag cushion assembly within an airbag module and prior to inflation of the airbag cushion. The horn switch unit defines a first elongated slot, a second elongated slot and a weakened portion rupturable upon a force created by inflation of the airbag cushion to break the horn switch unit between a first and a second elongated slots defined by the horn switch unit. The horn switch unit is positioned on the folded airbag cushion opposite the collar, with a first elongated tether of the cushion strap extending through the first slot of the horn switch unit to a distal end secured to the collar of the airbag cushion, and a second elongated tether extending through the second slot of the horn switch unit to a distal end secured to the collar of the airbag cushion.

摘要： An airbag module case for use with a side-impact airbag module including an airbag cushion and inflator assembly, and two mounting projections extending from the airbag cushion and inflator assembly and. The airbag module case includes an assembly cover and two unitary, flexible retainer arms. The assembly cover is sized and shaped to substantially cover the airbag cushion and inflator assembly, and has an open base sized to receive the airbag cushion and inflator assembly. The open base is partly defined by a first side edge and a second side edge of the assembly cover and a first retainer arm extends from the first side edge and a second retainer arm extends from the second side edge. The first retainer arm defines two spaced-apart projection-receiving holes, and the second retainer arm also defines two spaced-apart projection-receiving holes. The opposed retainer arms are sized and shaped to encircle or tightly hug the airbag cushion and inflator assembly with distal ends of the opposed retainer arms overlapping and positioned so that the two mounting projections extending from the airbag cushion and inflator assembly extend through the two projection-receiving holes defined by the first retainer arm and the two projection-receiving holes defined by the second retainer arm to secure the airbag module case to the airbag module.

摘要翻译： 一种与包括气囊垫和充气机组件的侧面碰撞气囊模块一起使用的气囊模块壳体，以及从气囊垫和充气机组件延伸的两个安装突起。 安全气囊模块外壳包括组件盖和两个单一的，柔性的保持臂。 组件盖的尺寸和形状基本上覆盖气囊垫和充气机组件，并且具有敞开的基座，其尺寸适于接纳气囊垫和充气机组件。 开口底座部分地由组件盖的第一侧边缘和第二侧边缘限定，并且第一保持臂从第一侧边缘延伸并且第二保持臂从第二侧边缘延伸。 第一保持臂限定两个间隔开的突起接收孔，并且第二保持臂还限定两个间隔开的突起接收孔。 相对的保持臂的尺寸和形状被设计成围绕或紧紧地拥抱气囊垫和充气机组件，其中相对的保持臂的远端重叠和定位，使得从气囊垫和充气机组件延伸的两个安装突起延伸穿过两个突出部分， 接收由第一保持臂限定的孔和由第二保持臂限定的两个突起接收孔，以将气囊模块壳体固定到气囊模块。
